Substitute participants will be accepted until 24 hours before the event. These terms and conditions are effective for ALL registrations. No refunds will be given to participants that are ‘No Show’ on the day. The Geneva Communicators Network will not accept liability for any transport disruptions, individual travel delays or other changes in circumstances. In any of these instances, the cancellation restrictions as stated above will apply.

In the unlikely event that the Geneva Communicators Network is forced to cancel a training course, we will refund your registration fee 100%.

100% of participants said they would attend future workshops, according to our post-workshop survey.

“I found the workshop useful, and quite fun as well. It was definitely worthwhile”

“This workshop gave me the opportunity to make a stop from my routine to evaluate my daily work activities and reflect on many things that I could somehow improve at work”

“The workshop provided me with a lot of tips and principles that I can easily use every day in my job and that will make my life easier! Thanks a lot”

“The workshop was extremely interactive and adapted to the participants’ needs. The case studies used addressed a broad variety of topics that helped correlate the information with our personal situation. I like also the balance of participants as they helped me meet people with different background and areas of focus and I found it highly mind opening.”
